Transfer Posts - Everton Transfer Tier System?

[GrandOldTeam]

Yep, don't understand how his tweets are not blacklisted, just posts consistent nonsense. @GrandOldTeam ?

^ Stuff like this.

How do we encourage people to share transfer tweets etc with some credibility, rather than sharing complete nonsense?

I'd hoped to find something that allowed our community to all vote - like upvote and downvote by source, organised into tiers with the bottom x amount blacklisted but I've had difficulty finding a developer to introduce that into grand old team and I can't find anything elsewhere that we could link to.

Redcafe - Man Utd's GOT, has a reliability tier from reddit? and a specific Redcafe Twitter blacklist. See here.

Any ideas?

Maybe do it in 2 stages, start a thread and get people to suggest any Twitter transfer rumour accounts that should be blacklisted, give it a few days and then blacklist any of the obviously blag accounts and put the rest to a vote and blacklist any of those with a reasonable number of votes.

I'll even scour the accounts in questions for you if you like to check their credibility, the only payment I require for this service is the removal of a few select members of the forum.

Impossible to manage here. You’ll always get some fruit loop falling for blatantly blag accounts and losing their head on here. It’s entertaining.

Like how certain publications are removed when they're linked on here, can you do that for twitter accounts perhaps?

Just crowdsource a load of crap/fake sources

Those loons over on RAWK have something similar regards to reliability.

One of the few things they get right.

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Reliability tier looks good. Just worried we lose Alan Myers if this is introduced.

Prays for @theEsk

Ban anyone who has made more than an average of 5 posts a day in the transfer thread since the end of the season.


Get rid of the dodgy sites and the forum virgins in one go.

Everton reddit has a tiered hierarchy of sources for derivative content on news stories etc. Perhaps contact the mods on there and see.how they structure/manage it

 

[dublinbluenose]

Here's a tiered list from a year or.two ago, maybe they could be flagged as tier 1 etc automatically when posted ?

The Football Transfer Sources Reliability Guide

Best sources for football transfer rumour news. We rated Journalists, Newspapers, Websites on how reliable they are when reporting transfers.

Tier 3 (Average reliability, or former Tier 2)
Canal+/Pierre Menes (France) / Jamie Jackson (Guardian) / Ian Ladyman (Daily Mail) / Stu Bates (Mirror) / The Telegraph / The Guardian / The Times / Mark Ogden (ESPN) / Daniel Taylor (Guardian) / Correio de Manha(Portugal) / Ruhr Nachrichten (Germany) / Le Parisien (France) / Ian Herbert (Independent) / Jason Burt(Telegraph) / Record (Portugal) / A Bola (Portugal) / Richard Keys (beIN Sports) / Jim White (Everton only) / L'Equipe (France) / Duncan Castles (Record/Times) / Paul Hirst (The Times) / James Ducker (the Telegraph) / Rob Dawson (ESPN)/ Miguel Delaney (Transfer News Only) Samuel Luckhurst (M.E.N)

Jim White (Everton only) makes me sad

Maybe a badge or icon added to a post that is from an iffy source. Bit like Twitters system on fake news or blue tick to indicatea genuine account. But have a blue weasel symbol instead to indicate iffiness. Or a Fakenews slimeball badge for the poster after 3 strikes.

No ranking needed for this - ignore EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING, every crossed i and dotted t from "Goodison News." Absolute pile if garbage clickbate site.
